What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

It only takes a tap to warm someone's heart. John Harrison and Vanessa Whalen’s digital picture frame lets your friends and family know you’re thinking of them—across town or the globe—with a light touch.

  • Connect the Bluetooth-enabled frame to WiFi and start uploading pictures with the free companion app.
  • The magic happens when you pair two of these touch photo displays: Give the wooden frame a gentle tap and any compatible connected devices* will change color and emit a soft glow. It’s a thoughtful and cheery way to tell someone they’re on your mind.
  • Assign a different light to each person in your circle so you always know who’s saying hi. There are more than 200 colors to choose from.
  • Purchase single or as a set. Frames purchased as a set come pre-paired. Just connect to WiFi and tap away.
  • Made in Kansas.

*Compatible with our original Long Distance Friendship Frame, Long Distance Friendship Lamp, and Wooden Long Distance Friendship Lamp.

Please Note: The vendor has added a paid Remote Touch feature to the app for this product that unlocks the ability to send and receive touches through the app when you are away from your lamp. This feature is completely optional. No subscription is required for the lamp's base functionality—to operate through physical touch.

John Harrison and Vanessa Whalen

“I see magic everywhere I look, but making something--then I get to touch the magic.”

When John Harrison and Vanessa Whalen first met, John was Associate Professor of Violin at Wichita State University and Vanessa was a pianist accompanying his students. Instantly friends, they did not start dating until many years later. By then, John had developed a second career as an electrical and computer engineer and Vanessa was a psychotherapist in private practice. John proposed to Vanessa on Christmas morning 2014 and their first touch lamps were also gifted that year. The two built them in their basement to connect John's family members spread out across the US and Canada. John now works with nonprofits to assemble the lamps while contributing back to the community. By marrying Vanessa, John also gained two sons, Brendan and Sean. The family now enjoys a blended household of dogs, as well as a small school of goldfish. John and Vanessa also founded a startup which develops mobile apps for kids to help them learn about and manage their feelings.

Visit the blog for a Q&A session with John that touches on the beauty of code, the power of capacitive sensing, and much, much more.
